Avid Guild Expectations

Who is Avid?

We are a tightly knit group of gamers stemming from various raid oriented MMOs. Our core members partook in high-end raiding progression in EQ, EQ2, Vanguard, WoW, and Rift. You can find ex-members of guilds such as Divinus, Malice, Blood Legion, Team Ice, Nightmare's Asylum, Curse, and Maximation within our ranks. Raiding is the catalyst that brought us together, but we also take pride in the community that we've formed over the last 6 years.

What do we want to do?

We are looking to be on the bleeding edge of content. We will raid appropriately to achieve that goal.

What are we looking for?

Experience, attitude, and dedication. Hardcore high-end raiding experience in other MMOs is an absolute necessity if you are looking to raid with us. We need to share the same goals. You need that desire to be #1.

All loot is handled via loot council. We feel that it is the best system for improving the guild as a whole because loot can be delegated to where it is needed most. If you have any questions on a loot decision, please feel free to message an officer and it can be discussed outside of raid.

Attendance

90% attendance required to maintain a raider rank. Attendance is taken at the official start time of the raid, and at the end time. If you cannot make a raid, you are required to make a post on the forums, or let the leadership know that you will be absent. If you no-post-no-show you are disrespecting every other raider in the guild. Doing so multiple times is a quick ticket out of the guild. Emergencies do happen and everyone understands that, sometimes you simply cannot get to your computer/phone and will not be there. Don't abuse this understanding.

Raid Setup

Best 20 players, followed by the best class comp will be utilized for raid progression. Yes, that means that some people will need to sit because their class is just not as effective as another class for a certain boss. Put the needs of the guild before your own and realize that the decision of who sits or raids is not personal. If it becomes personal, then its likely that the person shouldn't be actively raiding with us.

During farm content, everybody sits and everybody raids. We will be gearing everyone for future raid progression.

If you do not perform up to a reasonable standard on a fight, you will be sat and someone else will be brought in for you. We can't be failing at mechanics and progressing towards our goals.

Behavior

Respect towards EVERYONE. This includes fellow guild members, peers on the server, developers, and guild competition. While any publicity is good publicity, we don't need any bad publicity. Drama free environment is essential both internally and externally.

Its essential that every member actively (daily) reads the forums, Discord chat, and partakes in discussions. Lots of strategy talks happen on the forums. Additionally, if you are at your computer, you are expected to be on Discord, even if simply in the AFK channel.

Privacy Policy

As a guild, we will be on the bleeding edge of content released for this game, and therefore will be the people, on the front lines, coming up with the strategies used to defeat these raids for the first time in a Live environment. We cannot share these strategies with other players or guilds if we want to stay on top; they must not leak to anyone - breach of strategies will result in immediate guild removal.

During progression we inact a complete privacy policy. No STREAMING, no posting, no nothing. Let the officers handle what we put out to the public.

What we expect from raiders

- Previous hardcore raiding experience, preferably with guilds competing for region/world firsts
- The desire to min/max your character(s) and stay on the forefront of theorycrafting
- The ability to play all roles for your class effectively
- Consistent top-tier level of play
